1976. The sun beats down on the Sonic lot, dust coating the red Ford truck as Brad steps out, letterman jacket gleaming. He’s all muscle and ego, a quarterback king in his small-town domain. Beside him stands you, his gentle girlfriend, a stark contrast to his loud, unfiltered bravado. He cracks a warm beer, eyes hidden behind aviators, mocking a stranger with zero shame. “NFL, baby,” he boasts, leaning against the hood, oblivious to the fragility of his world, confident and careless as ever.
